Ha ! I found you, you're quick as always... Just got the time to express an idea and you've already done all the theory and the app is on the way...

Glad to see it led somewhere.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mikulec:
I was wondering where have u been so long. Looks like u have done a good job, as always. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JeckyllHavok:
Nice to see you back, with a boom like always:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12aon:
Insane :D! You have a nag for improving our lives a lot with very complex improvements. I don't think I fully understand what this does, the thought creating it hurts my brain, Thanks a lot

Mr Burns: Excellent!

With nueDynamicClock hopefully getting o/clocking and a graphics boost, my Diamond will take to the skies! Hopefully...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mandragore:
Another great project, thanks!

So you're forcing the backbuffer to draw to screen, Is that right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It are the released!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12aon:
Wow I think it works on my TP, switching albums in tf3d seems smoother. I made an Icon for the ocasion hope you like it, 12

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbarvian:
enabled and working on kaiser :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hammerz:
Good work

tested on POLARIS work good but with Camera ..:mad: like TITAN-23

Thanks for all Chainfire.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TITAN-23:
Hi mbarvian,

Can you test whether the camera app breaks the qtv acceleration?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Petulinek:
Win 6.5 on Polaris, with new Neos2007 OpenVG drivers - fantastic speed. After installing GfxBoost 1.0 phone freezes after boot after about 1 minute... After uninstaling GfxBoost and reinstalling Neos drivers does phone work good again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] undac:
Installed and working on Kaiser.

After a soft reset the service is running and is active and enabled.

I tried to go in and disable it but it just keeps loading (the pinwheel in the middle of the screen) and most of the OS just becomes unresponsive (going in to menus works but launching new apps doesn't).

Forced a soft reset with the stylus and it booted properly. Went into settings and now the things is disabled and inactive.

Enabling it again works just fine.

So in other words it works, but if you do anything that stops it from working you have to do a soft reset for it to start working again since disabling and re-enabling doesn't work. (due to it "crashing" when disabling)

camera is still an issue to me for an example, I just get a black screen and upon exiting acceleration is disabled even though the settings says it's active and enabled

still, this is GREAT progress! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Debugging time!

Right, I've seen some issues come by here in the last hour, lets what we can do about them :)

REMEMBER YOU NEED TO SOFT-RESET AFTER INSTALL

First, it is a good idea to get MRE (MobileRegistryEditor). It will be useful in figuring out what the issues are :)

The least thing I will need from everybody having issues is as follows:

Use MRE and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ConcurrenceMgr\Wnd , and post the contents of that registry key here, preferably in a quote or code block.

Now, also do one of the following, if applicable:

Crashes / hangs

Please mention if 0.7 worked properly for you. Let me know the device / model / ROM.

Enabled but Inactive

Please mention if 0.7 worked properly for you. Next, below the text "Enabled (Inactive)" should be another line, usually the text is between ( )'s. Let me know what this line says.

Camera not working correctly

I suspect this is due an improper Camera port / version. Please let me know the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\MASD\CAMERA (or HTCCAMERA).

EDIT: HOWEVER, if you also have the crash / hang issue when enabling/disabling GfxBoost, these are related as well!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flitzjoy:
Ok Chainfire i will try to help you.

0.7 version worked fine.

version 1.0 shows Enable (Inactive).

Two issues:

Running the camera results in a black screen.

After exiting the camera gfxboost is not working.

Checking the gfxboost settings shows it as active and enabled.

(Same problem with all versions.)

Disabling the settings "crashes" the phone in a weird way. (For example it's still responsive to tactile input and you can go to the today screen but it won't launch an app if you "click" it's icon etc.) The screen is stuck with the loading cartwheel.

Upon reset the gfxboost is disabled (so atleast the setting was applied) and enabling it again works just fine.

Running a Kaiser with Ultimate-X.V1 ROM (WM6.1, 1.70.19.09 Radio, build 21068 1.6.1) Camera is 5.04 build 31875.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Sorry but where should I see the effect from this service? It installs fine on my Touch HD, doesn't hang or crash, camera works just fine, but for the life of me I cannot see a hint of a difference. Maybe I'm looking in wrong places? Opera is fast but it was fast before, while scrolling in it is still jerky. What am I missing?

Looking good on GSM TP, 12
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Ok, if you are NOT having the crash/freeze on enable/disable issue, try adding this key to your registry in the same spot:

"htcCamera"=dword:00000002

See if that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TITAN-23:
Thanks, Chainfire.

It now works perfectly, issue solved!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Great. Guess that one of the about 5 issues solved. Will put the relevant registry entries in the next release CAB.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Are you sure that shoudln't be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\MyCpl.cpl,42]

?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
v1.0 reports Enabled (Active), but I still don't see the difference.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TITAN-23:
Hi Chainfire, for some reason the GfxBoost icon does not appear in Settings>System with SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. It appears ok in the normal WM. This is possibly a SPB bug rather than something wrong with GfxBoost.

dont work gfxboost 1.0 (enable) on Touch HD:

Very bad video quality and poor speed ! coreplayer (DirectD enable)

if disable wm crash

soft reset gfxboost show: disabled but in coreplayer again black screen on QTV driver ... ;/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aruppenthal:
Chainfire

Not sure if you are also looking for positive results. Ill gladly post any reg entries if needed.

I am using the concurrence manager package from the Blackstone (let me know if version is needed)

My camera is working perfectly.

GFXBoost is active after first soft reset

No hangs so far

I am using a TP with my RC1 6.5 rom

Coreplayer working fine on High Quality in QTV mode (v1.3.0 build 6213)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TITAN-23:
IMPORTANT! GfxBoost is QTV. DirectDraw mode will now run at QTV speed because GfxBoost enabled it. No need for the QTV option in CorePlayer if you have GfxBoost enabled.

You got a black screen because you had 2 instances of QTV running which caused a conflict (CorePlayer QTV & GfxBoost QTV).

Change coreplayer to directdraw > exit coreplayer > soft reset > open and enable GfxBoost and press ok > open coreplayer and play a video. It should play super smooth. If it doesn't then there might be something incompatible about your Rom.

worked fine KAISER 6.5 102RAM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Hmm well, after some more testing on a HD (previously I tested on my Kaiser primarily, then patched 0.8->1.0 for TP) there's some AV's going on - but I seem so far to be unable to track where they are coming from.

So once, again, if you are having problems with 1.0, revert to 0.7. I'm taking a break from this :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Polargoat:
Working great on my cdma touch pro running 6.5. tf3d seems smoother, videos in coreplayer look nicer.

Great job as usual Chainfire.

Beer on its way!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VidMan:
Version 0.7 works great on my WM6.1 stock Tilt. V1.0 however kills the D-Pad and keyboard. Kind of strange.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
Yeah, 1.0 service is no no for the HD... not only does it hang when trying to disable the service, I can't even go to the Services tab in Fdcsoft TaskMgr or SkTools without the apps terminating themselves.

Hope u can figure out what's going on! Back to 0.7 in the meantime...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TITAN-23:
Hi Chainfire, sometimes this fix works for the Camera bug. Sometimes it doesn't. It is not a 100% fix. I will test further to see under what circumstances the fix doesn't work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.jaguar:
ok, I tried to use 1.0 service, and all it did was to lock up and run REALLY slow. went back to .7

running RRE 5.8 on a fuze. (wm 6.1)

And one more thing: with version 1 installed SK-Tools crashes when opening "services" tab. At least on my Kaiser.

slows my Xperia at Corplayer Benchmark

Does not work on my Xperia properly.

After softreset --> activate GFXBoost --> Corplayer screen stays black on video playback.

Ich have to deaktivate GFXBoost then start coreplayer (it works)

exit coreplayer, activate GFXBoost. Start Coreplayer again.

--> Video works, but very slow!

~65% Speed@Coreplayer Benchmark

Without Gfxboot: 88% Speed

File: divx 640x272 25fps

Coreplayer: CorePlayer v1.3.2 Build 6909

whats wrong?

What can i do to make GFXBoost run properly?

Same here. Sprint Touch Pro on stock ROM. But 0.7 did absolutely nothing, bad or good. At least 1.0 did SOMEthing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnpatcher:
Same issue here. GfxBoost 0.7 shows that it is enabled and active, but switching to DirectDraw doesn't improve playbay at all, but it gets slower by nearly 50% :(.

1.0 doesn't work completly.

Does not fail on Trinity

I ahve installed it on Trinity. Dopod folks will freak out if they have seen my device.. :)

1. WM6.5

2. PointUi Home2

Comments: After soft resetting it seems the bosster works. However- i ahve no way of telling if there is an improvment in performance/graphics...

At least it does not fail like others report..

BigE
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Do you mean it fails to load, can't be enabled or has no effect? For me it's the latter, or at least I don't know where to look to see this effect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Angelusz:
You sir, are the man! Definately gonna try this out and report back!

EDIT: Aww, doesn't currently seem to work.

Using it on a WM6.1 ROM (Itje's Touch-IT v7), it's always listed as Enabled (Inactive), despite not running anything in the background.

Though, reading the reports, you're definitely on to something! Keep up the great work.

EDIT2: Tried to disable it, but it seems to lock up my phone when I do that. Keeps loading forever.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnpatcher:
It says "Enabled (Inactive)" all the time, as some other have reported already.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Ok again:

Fixed various things that help in loading, but still have another thing to fix - Manila loading keeps killing it off on one of my devices. If I get around that it works on all of my own devices, so lets hope it brings better things to those that have had no luck yet.

If it keeps saying Enabled (Inactive) after installation AND pressing the Enable / Disable button does nothing - you are suffering from the same issue.

And people, stop throwing everything on CorePlayer, its the one other unofficial app that uses QTV to do things, its fairly logical it may cause problems. But a fix will eventually come :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bteljuice:
im confused here.should i or should i NOT install the v1.0 on my kaiser?

is there still the enable/disable thing showing up?

or perhaps i should wait till a stable version comes out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baklap:
Well for me it is working great! Started with the very first version en followed until V1 which runs great on my Kaiser. Great improvements in Igo and Opera and the behavior of M2D..

Just a status update, I finally figured what happens on the devices it doesnt work right on. I am out of time, however, so the next release will not be until somewhere next week. Providing of course that I can figure out how to bypass the problem :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
v1.1 released

Ok scrap that, here is v1.1.

You know the drill, compare to 0.7, see what happens, report!

Hopefully this works right now for those it hung/froze/did nothing.

The service is enabled by default - but to make sure it is operating properly, please test opening the GfxBoost control panel applet and Disabling/Enabling. Response should be faster than 5 seconds!

I will be away from the development PC for a few days, starting right now. I will read your comments, though!

1.1 seems to behave the same as 1.0 did - doesn't break anything but I don't see any difference in graphics performance either on my Blackstone.

version 1.1 works on polaris wm6.5

installs ok, SR, process & service works, camera works

now i use MS3 + M2D together and its like it was, after SR graphics works slow then i turn screen off & on and it works fast as it was but i see no improvements,

windows wm6.5 default today plugin works not very smooth as it was,

file explorers (resco and windows explorer) scrolls same speed as it was,

3d games (virtual pool & 3d mines) works same as it was,

igo8 same as it was

so....it works but doesnt improve

p.s

on uninstall there is some problem with some file .svc

edit:

i tried now driver from HERE and its definitely improving file explorer scroll

Hmm, 1.1 doesn't blow up on my Touch HD but it also doesn't seem to be doing anything either.... Diamond Hologram is reporting the usual 25fps again instead of 50fps when using 0.5/0.7.

Hi Chainfire

When I use HTC Audio Manager to play music GxfBoost stops working and the Applet says:

Enabled (Inactive) (AudioManagerCurrencyWorkerWind)

GfxBoost 1.1 Service. Device and ROM details below.

Many thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] undac:
Version 1.1 fixed the enabling/disabling for me and everything else works as expected.

The camera problem still persists though. I just get a black screen and then gfxboost erroneously reports that it's active though it's clearly not. (Enabling/disabling doesn't work and only chance to restore it is to soft reset)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roflnova:

Cool, I'll have to try this out!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazililazn:
I also have the same problem. i remember someone saying that some programs, like the audio player uses the same dll as gfxboost, so therefore gfxboost is not active. ( not sure if it is exactly correct, but similar to that)

Sorry for this noob question, but does this only work on VGA? I use QVGA and was wondering if this would work. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Angelusz:
Tried this on my X1 with WM6.1 (25000+, don't remember exact number.)

It slows down TF3D2 severely. When it's active, it just makes manila half as smooth. Other apps don't seem to be affected much, if not slower as well.

Too bad, I was really hoping for the best :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
To all three of you, aussiebum / WDawn / undac I realise you may have posted them before, but could you please quote your own post and add exact device and ROM details? I'm going to try flashing these ROMs to see what the difference is (it now works like a charm on all my own devices and curent ROMs).

Yes, this is because AudioManager is currently doing something with the feature GfxBoost uses. I'm not exactly sure what (I've not used AudioManager) or how it uses it, though - it probably needs it for something. It seems the 'trickery' used by GfxBoost can only be used by one program at the same time. That problem is solved by HTC making a service that manages when who uses what. The thing with this is, however, that an app can only say "hey, me wants!" and gets called back "hey, you can not have anymore!" when another app uses it. It does not allow you to check if the other app that has requested it is actually using it, or if its safe to take it back, or etc. Exactly how all this works internally is still not clear, more research is required before this can be properly fixed. In the meantime, you should probably force-close AudioManager when you are done with it (or set the X button to close an app instead of minimize it).

Not sure - I suspect they will work together fine though.

It depends on your device - some people so great results with Kaiser, which is QVGA.

The slowdown is probably a bug of mine somehow (or maybe not). It should under no circumstances slow your device down, as far as I've seen. I have seen some strange things happening though, resulting in constantly repeating AVs in various drivers and whatnot, which will seriously slow down your device. Check back in the future (as I cannot play with X1 myself :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Angelusz:
Alrighty, I'll stay tuned and keep testing a bit more when I find the time. Perhaps the slowdown has to do with something I did to my device. It's hard to tell ofcourse.

Thanks for the continued support though, you're doing a lot of great work here!
